Xavax Reinforced Water Supply Hose, 2m

A much better solution to a connection than the much cheaper plastic/rubber standard ones. Not prone to wear and tear in the same way. So although MUCH dearer they are a better investment long term.Be careful that you do NOT buy the extender hose which looks the same as I almost did.

had an issue with inlet hoses kinking behind washing machine. This does not kink. Just what was needed and i would recommend to all.

Arrived on time . A top quality item . Should last a lifetime . Came with washers too

Can’t seem to get this to fit my washing machine (this is a replacement and had the same problem with the initial delivery). I’ve used a standard, rubber hose until this split yesterday and I’m finally trying to install this one (the rubber hose was supposed to be temporary). It fits the male inlet easily (both ends thread easily) but just won’t seat on the plastic male thread on the washing machine. The old hose, with a plastic female thread, fits really easily but their design is slightly different with a taper before the thread, which this does not have - this probably helps them seat squarely. It might be the plastic ones have more give and this compensates if the male thread on the washing machine is damaged slightly. Therefore, benefit of the doubt and 3 stars (more if it were to fit as I’m sure it’s far superior to the rubber hoses).

I bought one of these after being woken in the night for the second time to the sound of running water and hours of clearing up to find mice had bitten through the dishwasher hose. When I was woken for the third time to discover this hose had beaten them so they bit through the washing machine hose instead I bought a second armoured hose. These hoses together with lots of mouse poison have solved the problem.Also I like being able to tighten the hoses properly with a spanner as with our very high mains water pressure I have never found the instructions on the normal plastic hoses to "hand tighten only" very satisfactory.The only small problem with these hoses is that they have zero ability to twist which can make it a little difficult to for them to be fitted to a machine pulled out from under a work surface while ensuring there is no strain on the hose once the machine has been pushed back in place.

It looked like it was a good quality hose, but it wouldn't make a watertight connection on the new dishwasher or the water inlet. I'm no plumber, but I think the problem might have been the inferior washers that were very thin and didn't look like they were made from quality material. A much cheaper plastic hose has done the job perfectly.

Does the job very well, no more rodent damage

The braided steel hose is good but it is supplied with old-fashioned fibre washers, which don’t include a filter and which LEAK!I had to replace them with the rubber washers that came with the too-short hose supplied with our new washing machine.This Hama hose is a premium product. The washing machine manufacturers use non-leak rubber washers with filters, so should Hama. It’s a ridiculous penny-pinching cost saving to supply super cheap fibre washers.
